Quote: Joe Doucette is a man who is abruptly kidnapped and held hostage for 20 years in solitary confinement, for no apparent reason. When he is suddenly released without explanation, he begins an obsessive mission to find out who imprisoned him, only to discover that the real mystery is why he was set free. The remake of the cult classic 2003 Korean film of the same name is directed by Spike Lee from a screenplay by Mark Protosevich. The film was produced by Roy Lee, Doug Davison and Nathan Kahane, with Joe Drake, John Powers Middleton and Peter Schlessel serving as executive producers.

Also since this bombed so badly in theaters I seriously doubt that Spike Lee's preferred cut will ever be released. Although I assume the cut scenes are mostly just reshoots from the original film aside from the hammer fight being about 10 mins longer than the original version.

Let's just say this... This was one interesting movie. I haven't seen the original. Some scenes were overly comical (he beats up multiple guys with a hammer if I recall) and others were just strange, but somehow, I didn't hate it. You also get some good boobage from Elizabeth olsen. I heard spike lee cut a lot of footage so I doubt all of it will be on the bluray.
